Christine Liz Pynn is the silent hero of many of the shows she works on. The comedy world does not often recognize those that work behind the scenes and make sure the lights go on when they are supposed to. And the sound cues hit at the right time. No one is better at this than Christine Liz Pynn. We talk about how she has found a way to be a very real presence in the shows she techs and how she has found a way to make a living doing theater.
